The Sidwell Friends boys’ basketball team began the season loaded with talent and widely considered the team to beat in the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference. Now the Quakers must press on without their most dynamic playmaker.

Guard Jelani Williams will miss the remainder of his senior season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
